Breakfast will be served between 6am - 10am. Arrange with the host if a breakfast needs to be served earlier than 6am.
There is a dining room area that can seat 6 people and the view from it faces the Klipriviersberg Nature Reserve.
Dining can also be done on the front outside patio and the same view of the Nature Reserve can be seen as when inside.
Sometimes the daily commencing agenda of guests is way too early to have breakfast, or guests are too busy, or too in a hurry and do not have the time to sit down for breakfast, thus, guests have asked for their breakfast to be packed as a lunch-box so that they could take it with them (take-away lunch option). This option is also available – notify the host if you need this service to be done.
Sometimes the food might seem too much for one person to consume all, thus, I encourage guests to package the ones that they will not eat and take it along with them and hand it to starving people along the road – this is just in the case if guests do not want to take a lunch box. The other option is that it could be stored away for the guest to eat much later.
Please feel free to contact the host with regard to food menu options. Stipulate if you are a vegetarian or not. Stipulate if you have any food allergies e.g. some of our freshly baked savory breads might have granules of nuts in them, of which, some people are allergic to nuts, others to shell fish, etc. Some guests prefer Halaal dishes. You are most welcome to share your food preferences with the host.

Experience and listen to the tranquil silent sounds of nature, birds chirping, rustling leaves and twigs, silent whistles of the wind and the sudden scampering of dassies, rabbits, peacocks and every so now and then in the dark moonlight, witness the shadowy wingspan and flight of an owl descending on its prey and of course let's not forget the crickets.
Take photos and videos of the surrounding nature and let us not forget those selfies … send them off to family and friends using the free WIFI service that is available. Go for a hike in the Nature Reserve and experience the real and ultimate closeness you will ever be to nature.

Kalays space was everything I needed for my final month in Johannesburg. She is a very thoughtful, open host, and will give you as much interaction or privacy as you wish. Her space is the perfect distance from "town"- easily accessible but also a different/quiet/peaceful environment. I would stay again.

Zane2018-01-14T00:00:00Z

Great place, very affordable and Kalay is such a lovely person who is very friendly and quite accommodating. Had a great time and met some good people there too. Would definitely return.

Ashveer2018-02-11T00:00:00Z

Lavender Wood was beautiful! The cottage was much more than we had expected, with lots of personal touches that makes the experience special :) The location was safe and incredibly convenient for our conference at Thaba Eco Hotel, with many restaurants and shops around the area. Angus & Christine were so welcoming and ensured that our stay was tailored to our needs. You will love every moment here, especially the peace that this cottage brings!

Joanna2016-09-19T00:00:00Z

the cottage was perfect very clean charming . Christine and Angus were fantastic host and i would highly recomend this place to any body visting Johannesburg South Africa

Raafat2017-08-30T00:00:00Z

Christine and her family were so amazing at being available when needed. Her son Daniel came to help us with simple things such as lending us movies, or telling us where to shop for food. There is no words to describe how beautiful the house is. The pictures do not do it justice I had to take a video to show my friends and family. When I come back to SA I will definitely stay here and wouldn't even consider another place!

Chain2016-02-28T00:00:00Z

We are family of five (kids aged 10-15). We absolutely loved this spot. The house itself is beautiful with incredible views from high on the hillside. The breezes in the mornings and evening are amazing -- each room and living room opens onto balconies with the incredible view. Across the valley is a nature reserve which is great for anyone interested in a beautiful hike. Ask Christine and Angus for details as they can give you the best spot to head hiking. Security is great. The entire compound is quite and peaceful. Both Christine and Angus are wonderful hosts. They live on the compound and are very accessible and generous. If you have time, check out the view from their balcony! This place and our hosts is what AirBnB is made for. Thanks and see you next time!

Sarah2016-12-22T00:00:00Z

It was an absolute dream to stay at Christine's cottage. She and her family are the most kind, helpful, generous and accommodating ever. They went out of their way to make sure we were comfortable. We will definitely be staying with their family if we are in the area again!

Stayed in a couple of places and this has to be at the top of my list. Joe and Kim are awesome hosts and the place is worthy of 5 stars. I happened to be their 1st guest but I'm sure when fellow travellers get to experience their hospitality and the place itself it will be pretty tough to get availability/bookings. Thanks guys. You guys rock!!

Christine and Lognar were amazing hosts and made my stay in Johannesburg one of the very best Airbnb experiences I've had anywhere. If you are looking for a beautiful home, with a comfortable stay in a central location, then you need not look any further. I fell in love with it, and was sad to leave. Definitely will return!

Philip2018-03-27T00:00:00Z

Christine and Lochner's home is a wonderfully warm, cozy, welcoming space. An urban retreat for those seeking a place to unwind. After spending my days in the hustle and bustle of the city, coming back to this beautiful calm space was just what I needed. The enchanting garden and interiors will leave you feeling restored and rejuvenated. I came to Johannesburg for work, but left feeling like I had had a mini-holiday. The highlight of my stay was Christine and Lochner's unparalleled hospitality. They are charming people, very helpful, and will make you feel instantly at home. Enjoyed every minute of my stay here!

Delphine2018-02-18T00:00:00Z

I can start by saying this was easily the best air bnb experience around the world we had and we had quite a few. But that would end up short in describing how was our stay at Lochner and Christine's villa. They just made our last days in South Africa wonderful and during our days out exploring the Gauteng region we couldn't wait to get home (yeah, there we felt like at home) to stay in the company of them and their wonderful dogs. That was a real home away from home. About the room I can add everything was 5 stars (because I cannot give 10) and really, they made leaving South Africa just much more difficult. Cannot thank you enough for those beautiful days!

Leonardo2018-04-10T00:00:00Z

Wonderful hosts, spacious bedroom. They went the extra mile to make my daughter and myself feel really welcome. Room was lovely and quiet. House is a Melville original with high ceilings and I would not hesitate to return! Melville is very central and full of restaurants and character.

Lochner and Christine looked after Uwe for me, our lutenist for a Bach project in Soweto. They were the kindest, sweetest hosts you could ever imagine. Great communicators, warm and generous, and their lovely place is in a fabulous location. Stay there! You won't regret it.

Shirley2018-05-28T00:00:00Z

Wonderfull and even more !!!

Christophe2018-04-29T00:00:00Z

What a gem this place is! A peaceful oasis in the suburb of Melville, boasting a wonderfully spacious bedroom and en suite bathroom; the bathroom even having a large dressing room area on the other side of the bath and shower section. Light, airy, clean and beautiful, the decor is eclectic, yet uncluttered and tasteful with quirky bohemian and vintage touches mirroring the arty personality of the neighbourhood. Lochner and Christine are the most hospitable hosts imaginable, welcoming you into their entire house and providing thoughtful touches, amenities and engaging conversation while still allowing guests privacy. Their four rescue dogs are as friendly as the owners and complete the ambiance. Location is in the heart of Melville in walking distance to shops and restaurants and with parking inside the secure property. Melville is my favourite suburb in Joburg and I would certainly return to this address on future visits!

I am a radio imaging audio producer, mainly working from home but you will not even know i am there where you want to have your own space. available work desks and also outside little garden is great for a little social or some fresh air outdoor working.

A wonderfully appointed cottage close to all the major highwag routes. Great accommodating hosts! Corporate Travellers this is a must!

Communication with Liezel was always fast and easy. She was so flexible regarding our check in and check out. The place is really nice and comfortable and you feel very welcome. I would definitely stay there again.

Christine2017-10-30T00:00:00Z

Greatly enjoyed your hospitality, and a great place you have there

Mushin2018-05-26T00:00:00Z

This is a place I want to get away to as often as possible:)

Sibongile2018-05-31T00:00:00Z

We expected a clean, private and simple stay for one night. We got so much more! Hosts communicated useful information, such as travel distance and time, local amenities etc. Very friendly and professional. Room is spacious with big windows, crisp white bedding and self-serve tea/coffee station. Despite the fact that the room is inside the host's home and the bathroom not being en-suite, it is surprisingly quiet and private. I do not think it is suitable for a long stay. It is perfect for a 1 or 2 night stay! Very good value for what we paid!

Caromien2017-11-11T00:00:00Z

The host canceled this reservation 3 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Karin2018-07-04T00:00:00Z

Liezel is such a wonderful person! I love the place, she's thoughtful and when I arrived the heater had already been on, so the place wasn't cold:) Thank you for hosting me again!

Sibongile2018-06-07T00:00:00Z

The accommodation feels like a home away from home. I enjoyed having access to a small kitchen where I could prepare some simple meals instead of eating out. Some shopping malls are not too far away if you need those extra few things. The location is also near a big high-way which makes access a breeze and it is within 30 minutes of O.R. Rambo airport.

Sometimes the daily commencing agenda of guests is way too early to have breakfast, or guests are too busy, or too in a hurry and do not have the time to sit down for breakfast, thus, guests have asked for their breakfast to be packed as a lunch-box so that they could take it with them (take-away lunch option). This option is also available – notify the host if you need this service to be done.
Sometimes the food might seem too much for one person to consume all, thus, I encourage guests to package the ones that they will not eat and take it along with them and hand it to starving people along the road – this is just in the case if guests do not want to take a lunch box. The other option is that it could be stored away for the guest to eat much later.

Love the location; quite neighborhood but close to all the hip Maboneng area. Mboniseni's place is a nice place to relax, mingle and get some great insight into the area. He readily suggested places on interest and is genuinely keen on making sure your stay is as exciting as possible.

Musolé2017-01-20T00:00:00Z

Lovely home with a very vintage feel. The host allowed us check out late and ensured our comfort by providing foodstuff. They also ensured we were properly attended to by providing details of the nearest convenience stores and restaurants. Thanks a bunch.

Mboniseni and his daughter made me feel at home upon arrival, especially as a solo traveler. The room is luxurious and the backyard has its own jacuzzi and flowering trees. I stayed here for a month. We would cook together and share conversations over breakfast and dinner. From Boni, I learned all about South African history and had the chance to visit key sites in Johannesburg. We also went out together to events in Maboneng. The house in Kensington is centrally located near a mall, swimming pool, restaurants and I could get to and from the city within a 10-15 minute Uber ride. They even took me to buy groceries on the first day and picked me up from the airport. I was very fortunate to be able to stay with this family for so long. I would definitely recommend this home to other guests!

Huiying B.2017-01-17T00:00:00Z

Awesome place to stay. I had a 12hr layover in Joburg and this was a great place to relax before my long flight home. The owner also let me have an early checkin which was greatly appreciated.

Very nice clean and wonderful place to stay in Melville. Restaurants and everything just around the corner. Kathleen and her Hausband were very friendly and relaxed.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. My Son and I were extremely busy while we were there but never wanted for anything while at the house. It is the perfect size and location. Loved going to the Service Station for breakfast each day.

We stayed at Kathleen place for a night. It was really cool because we had the whole garden for us and the lady who cared us was very kind. Melville is a safe place and in the nearby you will find a plenty of bars and restaurants!! Very very nice!

Lorenzo2015-10-05T00:00:00Z

Super cute and cozy spot in a fun neighbourhood. Would definitely stay there again!

Samantha2015-09-07T00:00:00Z

Kathleen and Joey were accommodating and considerate; and Lebo was so sweet to have around. Melville is a really cute area with lots of shops, restaurants and bars within 3 minutes walking distance. The room itself is pretty much as the pictures depict though it is worth noting that there isn't a door or curtain on the bathroom....and the toilet is in the doorframe facing the bed. This just means that if you are staying there with someone you'll have to devise a bathroom privacy plan! All in all, it is a great bang for your buck and the private entrance makes you feel as if you have your own place.

Amanda2016-05-25T00:00:00Z

Kathleen was a great host--very nice and responsive. The apartment is only a few minutes walk from 7th St, which has a lot of good restaurants/bars/cafes. She provided us a with a list of recommended places to eat, and was very helpful in finding tours/transportation. She also has a cute, friendly puppy that came to say hi, but generally wasn't near our room. She didn't have a guest checking in the day we checked out, so she generously let us keep the keys during the day, so we could enter easily in the afternoon to pick up our luggage.

Lisa2015-07-23T00:00:00Z

Kathleen was an amazing host. She was very considerate and understanding, and really went out of her way to ensure that my stay went as smoothly as possible. Her place is also in the perfect location, right nearby Melville's famous 7th street. I tried a few places she recommended and they were great. The room is also very private and easy to go in and out whenever you want.

Thomas2015-07-18T00:00:00Z

Kathleen was excellent at keeping good contact with us at all times, even through our complicated flight changes. She went out of her way to help us get in easily - her mom picked us up from a nearby restaurant when we arrived. She also pointed us to some cool spots where we had our first meal. The area, Melville, felt safe and trendy - a perfect intro to Joburg. The room was very comfortable for a couple for one night. Kathleen kindly gave us an extra heater as the city had a bit of a cold spell. Thanks!

Enjoyed a great stay at Kalay's! She is kind and genuinely cares about your comfort. She is super cool and willing to chat with you or give you privacy. The suite is very quiet and serene, I watched the sun rise in one window and set in the other. The house was soooo quiet even when the rooms were full. Her pets are very sweet you will fall in love. Close enough to walk to the main road for cafe and markets, but far enough to enjoy a peaceful, relaxing setting. I didn't venture into the Nature Reserve, next time I will go. Cannot wait to go back.

Kim2018-04-29T00:00:00Z

Our stay with Kalay was wonderful! The suite in which we stayed was huge with a large en suite bathroom with beautiful shower and tub. On cold nights she provided a space heater and extra blankets. Her hospitality is 2nd to none. She is there to engage and chat or to simply let you be. The vibe at Serenity Gardens is easy and very chilled. I would definitely recommend a stay with Kalay!

This little but charming townhouse is located in a calm leafy street of Melville. You'll enjoy the wooden atmosphere of the house, comfy 3/4 beds (bigger than single) to relax after busy days in Joburg, the fire place or the small pool in summer, and a very sunny terrace. We are at 5 walking minutes from Melville 7th street where restaurants, bars, and an astonishing arty/artesanat shopping centre will make you feel the particular vibes of this very friendly neighborhood.

What makes this house unique is its loft character, ample windows opening on terraces and a in-house garden. Many contemporary paintings decorate the walls. You'll appreciate your private bathroom and the cosy atmosphere of the living area.

15 walking min. away from Johannesburg botanical garden (ideal for joggers), and just a minute behind Melville Koppies: sunset place!! A shopping mall (SPAR) is 5min away, equipped with a 25m outdoor swimming pool.
Many restaurants and bars are at walking distance on 7th street, including a bakery, excellent places for breakfast, a bookstore, an artesanat center and antiques shops. By bicycle or car, you are 10min away from Wits and UJ universities.

Guilhem is just the perfect host, a brilliant communicator, kind, generous, never intrusive and incredibly accommodating. His place is gorgeous and in a great location. I would recommend it unconditionally.

It was a real pleasure to be hosted by Guilhem in Melville. Guilhem is a very friendly host who knows the area well and makes you immediately feel at home. The house is very charming and has all you need to feel comfortable and at ease. It is very well located - close the shops and restaurants and markets. The room is well kept and clean. I definitely recommend his place for an easy stay in Johannesburg at large and Melville in particular.

Liesbeth2017-06-26T00:00:00Z

Guilhem is quickly becoming one of my favourite hosts in Melville. He is a fabulous communicator, gracious and kind, and nothing is ever a problem for him. We had to change reservations with him more than once and he was just great about it. His place is lovely and in a great location.

Shirley2018-09-16T00:00:00Z

Great location, lively street closed by that has many bars and cafes, great park in walkable distance, plus being in one of best districts in Johannesburg, Melville. The house is so comfy and as described. I really enjoyed my stay and spent most of it at the house. As a guest you get to enjoy a small pool, list of movies ready to watch, and have different types of tea all day long. Guilhem was so accommodating, offered me food and tea, and was so helpful in giving touristic advices about the city. You come to his place as a guest and leave as a friend. Thanks again Guili for such a wonderful experience.

THE FOLLOWING HEREAFTER IS ALL THE NECESSARY INFORMATION FOR GUESTS. PLEASE INFORM AND OR ENQUIRE ABOUT POSSIBLE MISSED NECESSITIES. YOUR INPUT WILL BE GREATLY APPRECIATED AS WELL AS YOUR PREFERENCES.

BREAKFAST
Breakfast will be served between 6am - 10am. Arrange with the host if a breakfast needs to be served earlier than 6am.
There is a dining room area that can seat 6 people and the view from it faces the Klipriviersberg Nature Reserve.
Dining can also be done on the front outside patio and the same view of the Nature Reserve can be seen as when inside.
Sometimes the daily commencing agenda of guests is way too early to have breakfast, or guests are too busy, or too in a hurry and do not have the time to sit down for breakfast, thus, guests have asked for their breakfast to be packed as a lunch-box so that they could take it with them (take-away lunch option). This option is also available – notify the host if you need this service to be done.
Sometimes the food might seem too much for one person to consume all, thus, I encourage guests to package the ones that they will not eat and take it along with them and hand it to starving people along the road – this is just in the case if guests do not want to take a lunch box. The other option is that it could be stored away for the guest to eat much later.
Please feel free to contact the host with regard to food menu options. Stipulate if you are a vegetarian or not. Stipulate if you have any food allergies e.g. some of our freshly baked savory breads might have granules of nuts in them, of which, some people are allergic to nuts, others to shell fish, etc. Some guests prefer Halaal dishes. You are most welcome to share your food preferences with the host.

Relax and enjoy the delightful view of the Klipriviersberg Nature Reserve with its undulating mountain peaks from the front patio area. Experience and listen to the tranquil silent sounds of nature, birds chirping, rustling leaves and twigs, silent whistles of the wind and the sudden scampering of dassies, rabbits, peacocks and every so now and then in the dark moonlight, witness the shadowy wingspan and flight of an owl descending on its prey and of course let's not forget the crickets.
Take photos and videos of the surrounding nature and let us not forget those selfies … send them off to family and friends using the free WIFI service that is available. Go for a hike in the Nature Reserve and experience the real and ultimate closeness you will ever be to nature.

Mboniseni was the most wonderful host! The house is beautiful, the room has a memory foam mattress, and private bathroom. Besides all that, Mboniseni was amazing to converse with; he knows so much about South African culture and history, and answered all my questions and more! He even drove me to a local restaurant so that I would know where to go. I 1000% recommend staying with Mboniseni, you won't regret one moment of it!

A private room, with own bathroom. Perfect for single or couple. Work station, WIFI and own tea station. Access to fully equipped kitchen, fridge, etc. Access to all shared spaces of main house and outside areas. Car park if needed.

Melville is VERY central! My house is gem. Spacious. Safe. Calm. Convenient. The house is 2 blocks from famous 7th street restaurants and 27 boxes "container" centre. Also 3 minutes drive to UJ, WITS, Media 24 and SABC. In the heart of Melville artistic lively township and 10 - 15km to places such as the famous Maboneng Precinct in Fox Str or Soweto, Vilakazi Street.
Pretoria is 60km away or 38min with the Gautrain. Car rental recommended for visits to Cradle of Humankind, Sterkfontein Caves as well as Hartbeespoortdam area or Magaliesburg. Otherwise, UBER is the way to go in Johannesburg. Taxify is equally as active now.

Established in 1896, only 10 years after Johannesburg, Melville is known for its multi culture South African experience. On the one side we have University of Johannesburg and on the other side University of Witwatersrand. Close by due to Media 24 are a number of film schools, business schools and active businesses and entrepreneurs in the fields of arts and entertainment.

Marie's place is very nice. l will recommend anyone wishing to visit Marie's place not to think twice.

From the moment that I arrived at Marie's house, she made me feel very welcome and at home. She went out of her way to accommodate me and make my stay as pleasant as possible, and I spent 5 nights at her place. It is conveniently located near a lot of unique bars, bistro's and shops if you want to take a walk around. I will definitely be back!

Madelein2017-12-09T00:00:00Z

Marie and Granny were absolutely lovely hosts. The room was clean and comfortable with all the amenities needed for an easy stay! The location couldn't be better and I highly recommend chatting with Marie if you get some down time... had an excellent Friday evening just chatting in the kitchen and sharing stories about life. Highly recommend!
